“…[10]In this study LBW risk is 1.4 folds more in uneducated mother, which could be due to unaware about intake of adequate nutrition or to avail health service for betterment of health, our outcome correlates to other study says LBW associated risk in illiterate mothers. [10,11,12]In this study there was a significant association between height of mother and regular antenatal checkup with birth weight of the baby which is similar study done by others [11,12,13,14]. Maternal height and weight could affect intrauterine growth through either genetic or environmental mechanisms.…”

Introduction: Birth Weight is a major determinant of child health and nutrition and LBW [low birth weight] used as benchmark of mellowness. It has remained significant community health problem in India both because of high frequency and related mortalities and morbidities with it. This study was designed to find out the prevalence of LBW and possible maternal factors affecting it. Method: A cross-sectional hospital based community study was conducted at Dhiraj Hospital from Feb 2017 to April 2017; total 100 pregnant women were participated in this study, who delivered babies at obstetrics and gynecology ward. Information was collected from the mothers by pre-tested semi structured questionnaire. Percentage of incidences and statistical tests like Odds ratio [OR], chisquare test were used to evaluate the association between maternal factors and birth weight. Result: The incidence of LBW was found to be 38%. Gender wise evaluation of LBW babies shows about 53% of male child and 47% of female child, which indicates near about equal incidence of LBW in male and female babies. In the present study the risk of LBW associated with maternal factors like age of mother < 20 yrs [OR=2.1], <10.0 % Hemoglobin [OR=1.7] and education of mother [OR=1.4].Conclusion: LBW was found to be 38% and it is considered as major public problem which needs attention. By proper counseling for marriageable age, conception age of mother and improving maternal nutrition will directly benefit the health of mothers and child.

“…In the guideline by MOH, mothers who are tagged red can have any of these problems -eclampsia, pre-eclampsia, hypertension with blood pressure >170/110mmHg, symptomatic hypertension with blood pressure >140/90mmHG, symptomatic cardiovasular disease, shortness of breath on minimal exertion, uncontrolled diabetes with ketone in urine, antepartum hemorrhage, symptomatic anemia or HB ≤7g %, premature contraction, leaking liquor with no contraction, severe asthmatic attack, seizure or prolonged fever (≥5 days) abnormal fetal heart rate) 20 These are preterm-prone signs and symtoms which can also lead to poorly thriving fetuses. [24][25][26][27] In our study the majority of mothers delivered well within child bearing age (20-34 years old). This is obstetrically healthy as the analysis significantly showed that being pregnant at this age is protective against preterm birth.…”

Objective: To determine the trend in incidence of preterm birth over five years and its predictors in a single centre.Design: A cross sectional study using electronic data from a Total Hospital Information System (THIS) and computerized birth registry system.Setting: A single teaching and referral hospital in the Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Population or Sample: All livebirths delivered in the centre from January 2011 to December 2015 weighing ≥500g.Methods: Logistic regressions with backward likelihood ratio were used. Main outcome measures: Preterm live birth and live term babies.Results: 31,405 live births were included. There was almost 20% increment in the incidence of preterm births between 2011 and 2012 which then gradually decreased until 2015. Maternal age of 20-34 years (OR 0.7, 95% CI 0.7-0.8) was noted as a protective factor. The highest risk level of the pregnancy (OR 2.83, 95% CI 2.3-3.4), multiple pregnancy (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.8-2.6), low birth weight (OR 18.7,) and male infant (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.2-1.5) were noted as risk factors. Conclusions:The incidence showed an upward trend between 2011 and 2012 then a gradual decrease until 2015 with a similar pattern reported by national data. The predictors of preterm birth in the study centre were birth weight, risk level of the pregnancy, multiplicity of pregnancy, maternal age and infant gender. Continuum of care using the risk level coding assessment must be enhanced at the primary care level especially for appropriate referral and co-management at a referral centre (secondary or tertiary hospital).

Maternal anemia is a well‐recognized global health problem; however, there remain questions on specific hemoglobin (Hb) thresholds that predict health risk or protection for mother and child. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to examine the associations of maternal Hb concentrations with a range of maternal and infant health outcomes, accounting for the timing of measurement (preconception, and first, second, and third trimesters), etiology of anemia, and cutoff category. The systematic review included 272 studies and the meta‐analysis included 95 studies. Low maternal Hb (<110 g/L) was associated with poor birth outcomes (low birth weight, preterm birth, small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA), stillbirth, and perinatal and neonatal mortality) and adverse maternal outcomes (postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and blood transfusion). High maternal Hb (>130 g/L) was associated with increased odds of SGA, stillbirth, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes. Relationships varied by the timing of measurement and cutoff category (stronger associations with lower cutoffs); limited data were available on anemia etiology. There were insufficient data for other maternal outcomes and long‐term child health outcomes. Current data are insufficient for determining if revisions to current Hb cutoffs are required. Pooled high‐quality individual‐level data analyses, as well as prospective cohort studies, would be valuable to inform the reevaluation of Hb cutoffs.
